Sounds good. I'm thinking about using an open sensor together with a photo lens as a kind of basic protection.

I apply a resin shield as already suggested by famous Gina. To avoid the thermal stress Gina reported, I use Pattex repair gel which remains flexible but still protects sufficiently.

Congratulations!

I'm modding 1100Ds which are said to be very difficult to open - what I can confirm. But I found a way to remove the protective glass with quite little risk by use of a soldering iron. The trick is to regulate the temperature to at least 450°C and - very important - to bring yourself to apply plenty of tin to the front glass to improve the thermal contact. This way one can introduce sufficient heat locally without endangering the CMOS.
